Astro Bot Reviews
Astro Bot reminded me not only of how much I love 3D platformers but also of how much I love PlayStation—and video games in general. From start to finish, the little robot kept me glued to my PS5 and wouldn’t let go. If you own a PlayStation 5, no matter your age, I highly recommend getting this game immediately. Play it, laugh, and have fun, because there are very few games like this in today’s gaming industry.

ASTRO BOT is a real treasure that captures the heart and soul of what makes a platformer great. With expertly crafted levels, inventive mechanics, and delightful nods to PlayStation history, it’s hard not to fall in love with every moment.
Stop what you are doing and go play Astro Bot right now.
If someone were to ask me why it is I love video games, I’d immediately tell them to play Astro Bot. No other title in recent memory has done a better job at instilling the sheer wonder only a medium as interactive as this can provide. Much more than a super-loaded sequel with even more creative levels and mechanics, Astro Bot celebrates the entire medium by delivering unbridled joy distilled into a charming 3D platformer. I never cry at games, but one extended sequence based on one specific PlayStation series saw me come extremely close. That sort of magic doesn’t come around very often, but it’s a kind of magic Astro Bot frequently thrives on. Should you enjoy games in any capacity whatsoever, you absolutely owe it to yourself to share in this magic too.
There are games that remind us why we fell in love with video games in the first place. In my opinion, Astro Bot is one of those games. It’s a phenomenally polished title, featuring great audiovisuals and, above all, brilliant gameplay that never gets boring. It's also a family-friendly game, perfect for everyone to enjoy together.
What is undeniable is that Astro Bot is worth every second you put into it.
Play Has No Limits has been PS5's campaign motto since the beginning, and Astro Bot truly defines it. With a tremendous amount of improvements over its predecessor, Astro Bot pushes the lines out wide when it comes to creativity and offers a satisfying experience to any gamer, regardless of age or interests.

If you own a PS5, then I do think Astro Bot is a must have for the system. Not only is it a fantastic platformer from start to finish with plenty of content for the 14 hours or so it takes to do everything, it’s also a love letter to PlayStation’s history and honestly even gaming as a whole. I honestly haven’t seen this many franchises represented in one game since Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and it was great that Sony even included series they don’t own, although some have a strong history on PlayStation as well.
The PlayStation 5′s ecstatic new platformer matches childlike wonder with high-fidelity visuals and physics
The amount of dedication and passion that’s gone into Astro Bot is obvious in every pixel of every texture; there’s not a single bug, glitch, or texture issue to be seen. Its controls are easy to understand and incredibly tight, with Astro moving exactly how you need him to. In the 15 hours I’ve spent so far in finishing its campaign and going back to replay levels to pick up missing Bots, I’ve not encountered a single moment of frustration. It’s beautifully designed both in its self-contained levels and those dedicated to much-loved, Sony-exclusive franchises.
Astro Bot is a dream for platformer fans and should be played by anyone with a PS5. It won't convert dislikers of the genre, but it does everything right, is incredibly fun, looks great and couldn't celebrate 30 years of PlayStation any better

Whatever the future holds for this charismatic little robot, it is safe to say that ASTRO BOT is firmly planted as this historic company's new face.
Astro Bot convinces with a unique platforming experience and an impressive variety of worlds that are second to none.
